Have you started driving targeted traffic with online video yet? If you have, the results are incredible, aren’t they? If you haven’t, it has to be because you haven’t yet realized it’s rapidly becoming the number one way to build traffic on the Internet today.

The subject of using videos in Internet marketing or affiliate marketing is top-of-mind for me today, since I’m creating a video tutorial on the subject just for my students in the PowerStart Marketing Coaching Program. But while this tutorial is just for them and won’t be available outside of the classes, I still wanted to share some thoughts with you about this powerful form of traffic generation.

First, of course, uploading your marketing videos to sites like YouTube and Viddler can bring you a lot of attention – especially if your video catches the public’s fancy and they start sharing it, embedding it on their blogs and telling friends about it. Some of these ‘viral videos’ have ended up with MILLIONS of views and great response – just think about the branding factor alone!

Second, if you’re an internet marketer with an affiliate program, you can make your videos available to your affiliates to use in their marketing mix, making it easier for them, and you, to make more money online. And nothing motivates affiliates, even super-affiliates, like making money hand-over-fist!

Third, using videos as part of your online marketing efforts can double or triple your response from social sites like Twitter. It’s much easier to get social traffic to click a link to your article, blog post or video than it is to a squeeze page or salespage – unless, of course, the video is on one of those two, in which case you invite them to view the video without saying anything about the page it’s on.

Fourth, videos get you into the video directories, of course – meaning wider exposure for your marketing message. Your site gets you into the search engines like Google, Yahoo & Bing, your articles get you into article directories like EzineArticles and GoArticles, your blog gets you into the blog directories like Tehnorati & MyBlogLog, your audios get you into the podcast directories like iTunes & Podcast Alley, and your videos get you into video directories like YouTube & Viddler. That 5-pronged marketing saturation strategy is part of the PowerStart program, and is the most effective method of driving traffic at the present time – done right even paid advertising would be hard-pressed to match the results!

So the question now isn’t ARE you going to use video as part of your traffic building arsenal, nor even WHEN are you going to start using video – the real question is what’s the fastest way to get up to speed with online video for marketing? HOW do you harness it’s power to build traffic right away?

Two choices I can wholeheartedly recommend: the coaching program, as I’ve already mentioned, and a new monthly ‘done-for-you’ video creation service that creates professional videos for you each month at an extremely affordable rate. But to get these custom marketing videos made for you, you’ll have to act quickly – they’re only opening the doors to the site for four days starting next week.

Jump on this pending opportunity right now by joining the pre-launch information list so that you have the best chance of being one of the lucky ones to get a new video made just for you each month at rock-bottom prices for top-shelf videos. You can check here to see if you’re in time…

And either way, be sure to check out the details of the PowerStart Marketing Coaching Series – video is just one of the ways to drive massive traffic online, and you’ll want to now how to create videos and all the related ways to drive traffic as well!

You KNOW you need video to keep up now – so what’s it going to be? Which way will YOU use video to drive targeted traffic to your sites, blogs, squeeze pages and affiliate marketing links?

Web 2.0 Beats Search Engines For Faster Internet Marketing Success

©2010 Doug Champigny, http://top-traffic-tips.com. All Rights Reserved.

Internet marketing continues to grow by leaps and bounds, with more and more people turning to it as a means of creating additional income, replacing their full-time jobs or in an attempt to get rich. Concurrently, more and more people are turning to the Internet for their purchasing, so the two growth trends are nicely balanced.

But for someone just starting out with their first online business, it can be difficult to ascertain the proper promotional methods to achieve the quickest success online. Because the industry is evolving so rapidly, much of the available information is outdated or less important now than it was when published even 6 months or a year ago.

For example, until recently the keywords tag on each web page was very important and worth spending a fair bit of time tweaking. With most of the big search engines now skipping that tag, the importance of keywords has more to do with your page titles and domain names than it does with your meta-tags.

Similarly, the amount of time spent tweaking the search engine optimization (SEO) of your site, while still important, is no longer paramount to your Internet marketing efforts. The emergence of the Web 2.0 interactive sites has seriously challenged the search engines as the ultimate way to drive targeted traffic, especially immediate traffic.

Don’t misunderstand – it would be foolhardy to totally ignore the search engines as they drive so much of the traffic online. Do what you can to achieve great results within the search engine ranking pages (SERPs), but don’t spend an inordinate amount of time on it, especially when first launching your site.

Still do your initial keyword research within your niche to choose your domain name, page titles, etc, but then get the site online and start actively promoting it using the power of article directories, podcast directories, video directories, blog posts, Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, Squidoo, Google knol, HubPages, etc.

Each of these promotional avenues is free to use, so learn to use them both individually and in concert with each other to create almost instant targeted traffic. Traffic from search engines usually takes longer to build, unless you’re purchasing ads on the site which can bring in immediate visitors but can also be extremely expensive in popular niches.

While this formula will probably change again down the road, for the present time your focus for building your traffic and your lists should be on using the Web 2.0 properties for the fastest visibility, and the search engines as part of your long-term strategy. Taken together, this should be your best recipe for success with you Internet marketing!

Affiliate Marketing Strategy: Choosing The Right Traffic Tools

©2009 Doug Champigny. All Rights Reserved.

Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest ways to make money online, and the usual starting point for most work-at-home online businesses. Since the product, web site, sales copy and often even sample e-mails are already created by the merchant, affiliate marketing success simply involves sending enough targeted traffic through your affiliate link to the merchant’s site.

There are paid options to drive targeted traffic, such as the Pay-Per-Click ads you see in the major search engines, ads on web sites and blogs, and solo ads and sponsor ads in e-zines in the niche. But most people starting out with any work-at-home business need to conserve what little investment capital they have, and as such should focus on the myriad of free methods of generating targeted traffic.

The first concern is to decide which traffic tools are right for each affiliate promotion you’re doing. Look over the salespage and decide whether this product or service is short-lived, like a 7-day sale, or liable to be around a long time, like say a dog training guide. Is it a one-time sale, or can you earn recurring commissions as when promoting a monthly membership site or ongoing service?

If it’s short term, focus on the fast traffic generators like Twitter, your e-zine, your blog and social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon or Digg. You want targeted traffic that hits almost instantly, and don’t need to waste time using long-term traffic methods.

If it’s going to be around a while, start by using those same short-term methods to get sales started quickly, then hop over and do some articles, a Squidoo lens and a Google Knol. That gets you the quick traffic from the former, and then keeps some residual targeted traffic going to the page from the latter. If the conversions are good, keep up the short-term til results start to taper off, all the while adding to your long-term efforts. If results aren’t great, let your long-term efforts to date suffice and move on to the next product.

If you’re promoting an affiliate marketing opportunity that pays residual commissions, pull out all stops. Do all of the above, plus record & submit some podcasts, videos and press releases, do either a recorded interview with the site owner or a live teleseminar, use the recording in giveaways, do a few e-zine swaps and maybe even create some viral e-books on the topic to help promote your affiliate links.

In short, there are a lot of ways to drive targeted traffic to your affiliate marketing links for free – just be sure to use the right tools to match the potential returns, start off slow and if you see your affiliate commissions mounting, turn on the afterburners and maximize your return before moving on to your next affiliate marketing opportunity.

Last post we talked about how you could get massive free traffic from Twitter by following the steps laid out in the Advanced Twitter Marketing System. Today we’ll look at how you can get more targeted traffic by tying your Twitter marketing into the power of PLR products.

For today’s example we’ll be using the PLR Spectacular bundle that’s just been released, both becuse it’s topical and because the entire bundle is under $20, meaning it’s with reach of everyone trying to generate more traffic.

This PLR bundle is on building your business with social networking, so it’s a bundle every webmaster, traffic developer and affiliate marketer should be reading anyway. For our purposes, it’s the Social Networking report and squeeze page that are important – take those, edit the report to include your name, your URL and your recommended links (i.e. your sites, blogs and affiliate links you’re trying to drive traffic to). If you’re not familiar with the process of converting PLR to your own unique products, follow along with the step-by-step how-to videos on using PLR in the PLR Tutorial videos package.

Put your autoresponder’s opt-in signup code into the included squeeze page, and get it online on any of your sites. You can plug this into your existing e-zine, or start a new opt-in list by using the 5 PLR articles included in the PLR bundle. On the download page for the report you’re giving away, add your links again, inviting people to visit your other sites. And if you’re using the 5 MySpace PLR articles as a new e-course, add a PS under the issues, each inviting them to check out another of your links. For a final 6th issue, thank them for taking the e-course, explain that they’ve come to the end of it, suggest they sign up for another of your lists, and then once again invite them to visit your main site/blog/affiliate link.

Now getting traffic to all of those links is as simple as giving away that free report! Post a tweet offering the free social networking report every few hours on your Twitter account, put a link to it on your FaceBook and MySpace pages, your Squidoo lenses, Hub Pages, Google Knols, etc, and announce the new resource on your blogs.

Everyone likes getting free information online, especially when that information is on one fo the hottest trends online at the moment – and the best of it is that social networking isn’t just huge in the Internet marketing or affiliate marketing arenas, but has become a phenomenon right across the boards, covering every niche you may be trying to drive traffic to!

It doesn’t have to be this particular PLR to use this system, obviously, but you can see why a Social Networking PLR bundle would work best, since it does indeed fit every niche. Otherwise, you’ll have to get PLR from each niche you’re in and set up and promote each one separately, but the aggregate results wil;l be roughly the same. Personally I’d say use the social networking PLR, since all of your promotional efforts would then target ONE resource, and that one resource can drive traffic to EACH niche you’re operating in.

As a related promotional vehicle, here’s a free list-building video that shows a powerful way to use that report to get more signups and thereby more traffic, using a free system you probably haven’t seen before.

Now go get the PLR bundle, get your free download set up, watch the video and set that up too – all the Top Traffic Tips in the world can’t help if you don’t put what you learn into practice!

I’ve talked a lot so far about using Web 2.0 sites and technolgies to drive traffic to your websites, blogs and affiliate links. Only natural, seeing as how I was chosen as the Web 2.0 Targeted traffic Expert to speak at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas at last year’s Intrnet Marketing SuperConference…

And Web 2.0 traffic generation has improved since then with the phenomenal rise of Twitter – just look at the testimonials on the page for my new Advanced Twitter Marketing System. From Internet marketing gurus like Willie Crawford, Harris Fellman & Peter Parks to complete newbies, every one of those testimonials is from someone who got more targeted traffic from Twitter within the first few days of trying the Advanced Twitter Marketing System!

But be that as it may, I don’t want you to miss out on the old-school traffic generation techniques either… In fact, the old tools to create traffic to a website still work well, and their effect is mltiplied when combined with the new Web 2.0 targeted traffic strategies. For example, there’s a great blog post today from Kenneth Koh on Free Search Engine Traffic, showing the results he got using keyword research, link building and the like.

The beauty of SEO work like that is once it’s done you can just leave it to work, while you apply today’s faster and bigger Web 2.0 strategies – since you’re already getting the search engine traffic, tie the two together. Use Twitter, FaceBook, Weebly, StumbleUpon, MyBlogLog, Google Knol, MySpace etc. to drive traffic to those same sites, and link from those sites to your profiles on the Web 2.0 sites – get your cross-traffic happening and the whole thing just keeps growing exponentially!

And then, of course, throw Twitter into the mix to really skyrocket your results! Don’t go at it haphazardy though – be sure to follow the system I’ve laid out for you in the Advanced Twitter Marketing System. After all, why settle for mediocre results when you can soar?

If you’re serious about making money – BIG money – online, use Kenneth’s advice on SEO & keywords, then follow the steps laid out here and in the Advanced twitter Marketing manual to grow your traffic exponentially. Can you have too much targeted traffic? Only if you think success brings you too much money!

Many business owners are now capitalizing on Twitter’s popularity to market their business by driving hoards of targeted traffic from this most-powerful of Web 2.0 social networking sites. Twittering is very addictive and it’s no wonder why millions of people send out tweets all day long. The tweets are merely 140 characters and it is also called micro-blogging. With only a few characters, you will need to answer the Twitter question just like other users of the social site. Just keep in mind that if you set your perspectives straight and use the site properly, you can financially and personally gain something from these Twitter fans.

To implement Twitter as a marketing tool, here’s a few Twitter marketing tips:

Twitter Search is a very effective tool that allows you to check on your business. You will be surprised to find out how much chattering takes place in Twitter. Find out what others are saying about your business and learn from them. If you find any criticisms, think about them carefully. You can also make some adjustments to your business if there is a need to so that you ensure profitability.

Keep your followers informed. Once you sign up for your Twitter account, you should be active in sending out tweets to all your followers. Choose the people you follow on Twitter. If this is your first time to use Twitter as a marketing tool, you should follow the right people. Choose the ones who are also utilizing Twitter for online marketing because you can learn a lot from them.

You should also check if the people you’re following are also following back. Once you have many followers, you can now send marketing messages but try to send helpful information too – any information that’s relevant to your market’s needs, including retweeting others.

You can also let your followers know about your promotions through the tweets. If you’re also sending them helpful suggestions and information in many of your tweets and retweets, you’ll find growing response to your marketing posts & links.

Gathering as many targeted followers as you can is vital to ensure your success in Twitter marketing; have you heard of the Twitter limits? Check your numbers regularly. When you’ve followed 2,000 people and you have less than 1,800 followers, you can no longer follow more people. By checking your numbers, you can avoid technical problems like this one.

When someone follows you, take care of that person by sending him/her personal tweets. By befriending your followers, you can build stronger relationships. A relationship built on trust is very important for your marketing campaigns. Keep in mind that you can’t market your products or services to people who aren’t already following you on Twitter.

Capitalizing on Twitter’s popularity can be rewarding but only if you know what you’re doing. Learn everything you can about Twitter. Follow gurus and learn from their experience. If you keep yourself well-informed, you can succeed in online marketing through Twitter.

Many business people are now utilizing social networks because they know they’re effective platforms for promotions. If you plan to use Twitter, you need to have the right knowledge. Start with resources like the Twitter Effect Videos and some of the suggestions on the Advanced Twitter Marketing blog.

Once you have the knack for Twitter marketing, you’ll know what the fuss is over using Web 2.0 targeted traffic tactics – you’re websites, blogs and cash register will all be much busier!

Internet marketers these days want to dominate social networks. Well, as an internet marketer, it will be easier to access the global market through Twitter and other social sites. By simply making friends online, you can already build a list of valuable leads. If you want to maximize your Twitter traffic, you’re on the right track. Keep on reading.

For about three years, Twitter has gained extreme popularity worldwide. People talk about various subjects. Some talk about their personal interests and there are also those who market their business online. Ordinary individuals use Twitter to send tweets to one another. Many of today’s online marketers are serious in using Twitter to drive traffic to their business sites. The social network is considered as one of the most effective and impressive ways to increase traffic.

With increased traffic to your business site, you can ensure more sales. How can you maximize your Twitter traffic? Here are several ways to do it.

Firstly, you need to spread the news that you’re on Twitter. If you’re into online marketing, you probably send lots of email messages or post blogs. Try to include your Twitter account on all your messages, blog posts, and even on your business site. That way, everyone will know that you’re using Twitter. You should also be active in using Twitter and in sending tweets regularly. When your followers see that you’re active, they will visit your website.

Regularly updating your tweets can also drive more traffic to your site, like people on Twitter who post tweets regularly. You can gain active followers through your tweets. However, you must ensure that you post more personal tweets; sending out bad ones can cause you to lose your followers. There are tools that you can use to help you in posting your tweets automatically but you need to be extra careful in using such tools.

By building good relationships with your followers, you will not have a hard time in selling your products or business. Try to post helpful information every now and then because the social community will appreciate it. Establishing a good relationship with your followers is vital. By investing a little of your time and effort in posting informative tweets and in replying to the ones addressed to you, you can ensure the profitability of your business in the near future.

Maximizing traffic in Twitter is very important. To sum it all up, make your presence known. Let everyone know that you’re on Twitter. Send tweets regularly and give more attention to the kind of tweets you’re sending. Make the tweets personal and most of all, build good relationships. So now, do you know how to increase traffic to your business site? Try these helpful steps and you can go a long way.

Using Twitter is fun and easy. Many online marketers are now using Twitter to boost site traffic, so why don’t you try it? It seems to be the fad these days. But to tell you frankly, not everyone who uses Twitter as a marketing tool is able to succeed. You see, it takes time, effort, and patience to see effective results.

Maximizing Twitter traffic for your business can be effectively done if you know how to tweet properly!

Ten Top Web 2.0 Sites For Generating Free Blog Traffic!

©2009 Doug Champigny. All Rights Reserved.

There’s no doubt about it – you can’t be truly successful online these days without your own blog, or blogs. While websites are still viable, blogs are much more quickly indexed by the search engines, have a greater number of places to be found in, benefit from interaction with your blog readers, etc, etc.

But of and by itself, a blog isn’t necessarily successful. As with any virtual real estate, you have to get targeted traffic to it – that is, you must attract an audience of people who want to know the information you’re sharing, and who want to buy the resources you’re promoting.

Fortunately, there are a number of new Web 2.0 technologies in use at various Web 2.0 sites to make that easier these days. Armed with a bit of knowledge, you can flood your blogs with traffic at little or no cost!

Here are our Top 10 Web 2.0 sites for driving blog traffic:

StumbleUpon: StumbleUpon is a sort of hybrid site – it has all the value of a search engine, and many use it that way. But it also has a random site feature – users can hit the link in the StumbleUpon toolbar and be shown sites they may not know about, sites that match the keywords set by that individual surfer. Personally, I’ve had as many as 550 visitors in one day to a blog post I had told StumbleUpon about. Ranked by any SU user who visits the page, results vary but can add up fast! Doug Champigny at StumbleUpon

Technorati: Think of Technorati as a great big search engine for blog content, organized by tags instead of ‘keywords’. Really, the tags ARE keywords, but content here can include your posts, your photos, your videos, etc. Here’s an example of the content users can find at Technorati about any given blog: My Internet Marketing Blog Listing at Technorati

MyBlogLog: In some ways MyBLogLog is similar to the other sites, but in some ways it’s vastly different! Yes, it lists your blogs, and automatically displays your last few posts. But then it goes so much further! It tracks not only your posts, but displays the comments you leave on other blogs too. Visitors to your site can choose to follow you through a widget on your blog, and you can message those following you at any time. Unlike other services, though, those direct messages not only go on their website, but get e-mailed to your followers as well. Use it sparingly for this, so you don’t get disabled for spamming.

For about $25 a year you can upgrade to pro there, and then access great stats for your blog – how many people visited each day, where your traffic came from, what pages they visited, and what links they followed to leave the site. That information lets you fine-tune your traffic generation, spending more time on what’s driving traffic to your blog and less time on the less-effective methods. Check Doug Champigny at MyBlogLog…

LinkedIn: LinkedIn is a professional networking site where you complete your profile and then connect with others you know or know of. While not specifically designed to drive traffic, you do have live links to your blog from your public profile there, and a small area to update what you’re currently working on, recommending, etc. Also, your connections there can see a synopsis of your most recent blog posts, bringing more traffic in through there as well. Doug Champigny’s Profile on LinkedIn

iTunes: Yes, this is the same iTunes your kids get their music from – maybe even you yourself load your iPhone apps from the site. If so, you probably know they have a major podcast directory there, so if you’re using audios on your blog (podcasting) you can have them appear there for the 4 million+ users of iTunes to find should they search for your subject. Here’s our Affiliate Marketing Podcasts in the iTunes Directory.

Squidoo: Squidoo is an information site built by the online community, who create pages called ‘lenses’. You can create one on any topic you like, and add articles, photos, links, etc. By building a strong, informative lens on a related topic that links to your blogs, you can drive a lot of traffic that keeps building over time as you update and add to your lens – and again, you can have your most recent blog posts linked to from your lens automatically. Here’s our PLR lens on Squidoo.

HubPages: Similar to Squidoo, HubPages also let’s you create our own pages – but they prefer you do more linking to a variety of sites and become a true ‘hub’ for whatever topic you’re covering. Our PLR Hub at HubPages.

Google Knol: My favorite of these types of sites is the Google Knol – Google defines a Knol as ‘a unit of knowledge’. Readers can comment on your knol, review your knol, etc, so it becomes a community unto itself in some ways. Recently we were awarded a ‘Top Pick Knol Award’ for our Internet Marketing Knol.

FaceBook: One of the biggest and best known Web 2.0 site, the FaceBook community is huge and can bring a lot of curious people to your blog once you start interacting and building a community there. Be sure to use the FaceBook Updates regularly, as they show up in TweetDeck for those who are connected with you at FaceBook. Here’s Teri’s FaceBook community…

Twitter: And speaking of TweetDeck, it’s a free tool you should be using for marketing on Twitter. Twitter is my favorite Web 2.0 site these days, a micro-blogging platform that lets you post ‘tweets’ – notes, comments and/or links of up to 140 Characters per posting. I’ve left Twitter til the end of this list because I want you to sign on to follow Teri and I there, and watch what we do and how we do it. There will be some additional posts on here about Twitter, and an Advanced Twitter Marketing report will be forthcoming in the coming weeks. For now, be sure you’re following these 3 accounts:

- @Champigny
- @SuperAffil
- @CaptnAffiliate

There’s so much more you can do to drive Web 2.0 traffic to your blog, but time will always be your limiting factor. For now, concentrate on those above, and after every blog post be sure to ping the directories – use iPings after one post, then Pingoat after the next one, and Ping-O-Matic after the third posting, then repeat that sequence with each set of posts you do.

All 3 are free to use, so bookmark those three pages and hit the next one in the sequence after each post. Each does some the others don’t, with overlap on the bigger sites, so don’t use more than one for each post, but don’t skip any in the rotation either.

The 10-site recipe above will flood your blog with free, targeted traffic over time – but please, take a moment right now and leave a comment to let us know what you thought of the list, and of other Web 2.0 sites you’ve found helpful. We do follow, so the link is spidered back to your blog for a bit of PR love!
